    "content": "Secondly, this is the only administration that has gone beyond the constitutional threshold by increasing the percentage of the shareable revenue from 15 per cent to 34 per cent. We have also supplemented more resources over the 34 per cent. This is the only administration that supplemented more resources to the counties through the conditional grants as provided for in the Constitution to the key sectors of health and water. Kenyan borders are now more secure under this administration. We are now fighting the enemy abroad and not on Kenyan soil. The President noted that our engagement as part of the African Union Mission to Somalia (AMISOM) has yielded significant success. The capacity of the Al Shabaab terror network to carry out large scale attacks in Kenya and elsewhere has been degraded. I thank the President for his surprise visit to our troops and the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) in Dhobley in Southern Somalia on Saturday afternoon, where he had a meal and spoke to them. The men and women in uniform who serve under the KDF have made us proud. They have secured our nation. They have sacrificed their blood and I am sure both Somalia and the region will be a better place with a more vibrant nationalistic administration of the new President of Somalia, Abdullahi Mohammed Farmajo, who will make a three-day visit to Kenya starting tomorrow. This administration said no to drugs and our renewed war on drugs is felt. Drug agencies and Kenyan security agencies are working with international agencies to protect our children and families. The war on illegal drugs is being won. This is the only administration that sunk a ship full of drugs. This is the only administration that put drug warlords on a plane for a long journey across the Atlantic Ocean to face charges in the United States of America. No other administration in the history of Kenya has done that, be it that of Mzee Kenyatta and Mzee Moi or the half-government of Mzee Kibaki and Raila Odinga. We have sealed all ports of entry for drugs at the airport and the sea. With regard to infrastructure, this is the only administration that will be remembered for making huge investments in infrastructure, energy, roads, geothermal power and the Mombasa Port where the new terminals have been built. For the first time, one trillion containers were handled. Never was it done in any other administration. Ultimately, the dividends of those huge investments that this administration is making will be achieved 10 or 15 years from now for major economic growth."
